Got my thumb nail caught on a rail and a third of it bent back. It's all bloody and sore. Have to keep it pointing upward so it doesn't throb. Big ouch!

So we've sold our beautiful house to a family of three. The father has been driving his real estate agent up the wall, but they have the cutest 11 year old son. The son and I got to talking, and he loves drawing Manga. Apparently, his parents either can't afford or won't buy him much in the way of art supplies, so as a welcome home present, I went out and bought water-color pencils, charcoal pencils, 2 books on how to draw manga, drawing pads, etc. Then I wrapped them up in beautiful silver paper and left them in his room. The buyer has now left THREE messages on my cell, and not a single one was a thank you!!! Instead, he's been calling to complain that he can't find the light switch in the garage!!!!!!!

Of course, this isn't the son's fault. But I regret giving them my cell number in case of "emergencies".

And Lovehistory, I hope your thumb feels better!

Michelle: some people are just clueless about how to be polite aren't they?

I have been living in my house for 3 and a half years and I still have light switches that I don't know which lights they are meant to turn on!

That was a very nice thing that you did Michelle, and it is a pity that the family haven't said thank you.

I agree SonjaMarie!

I have been living in my house for 3 and a half years and I still have light switches that I don't know which lights they are meant to turn on!

HA! Well, I can't wait for the next phone call. It'll be, "How do I turn on my bath?"!

We've got a switch at our house that doesn't seem to be wired to anything. I kind of wonder why it's even there.

Thumb is still hurting, but not as bad. And the bleeding has stopped. It's amazing how many activities take a thumb, and you never realize it until helping a kid with a zipper puts you in agony. Dialing the telephone was a challenge too. Course it's my right thumb and I'm right handed.

Yesterday Harm and I cleaned for hours and I'm paying for it today, back hurts, legs hurt, arms hurt, sigh.

Hope your thumb gets better soon, LH. It's so painful when you do something like that, I did it to my little finger once and nearly went to A & E as it was so painful, but that would have been a bit melodramatic I suppose!

no warning no nothing! yesterday after a year of saying 'oh don't worry we won't lay off' out of the blue we all come back from lunch and they call a meeting for everyone, 400-ish people, and announce they are letting go of 166 people

thats almost half the people working there. and yet they're still hiring

so now I'm freaking out . what if I'm next?

Bummed to be working today... the kids have been on Spring break this week and I could only take two days off work. Hubby is at home with them today. I so wish I were there instead of here! And... bizarro weather is moving in with possible hail and tornado watches! Ick! At least I remembered my umbrella!
